Say Cheese!

Looking for a quick appetizer for your Thanksgiving guests to munch on, especially if dinner is running a little behind? A cheese and cracker platter is an easy solution, and here’s a recipe for chocolate mice to add some a little fun to the dish.

Chocolate mice recipe:

1 package of almond bark chocolate

1 small package of shaved almonds

2 jars of maraschino cherries with STEMS ON

1 small tube of red gel icing

1 package of Herseys kisses

Take off the wrappers of 20-30 kisses for the head.  Set aside 40-60 shaved almonds for the ears.  Heat up half of the package almond bark chocolate.  Once the chocolate is melted and ready to dip, take the cherry and dip.  Place on wax paper while connecting the hersey kiss.  Your partner in crime will have to take 2 almond slices and stick them in between the head and body.  Wait about 10 seconds to let set.  The whole batch can be made in 20 minutes.  Once hardened dot the red gel for the eyes. 

Wa-la, you have chocolate mice for that ever popular cheese platter!
